Default advice for injector swap (miniram)

Last time I attempted to change injectors, I could not get a good seal on the crossover pipe between the two rails. Then I couldn't get a good seal with the O rings on the injectors to rail. Then, another guy working on my car (a professional) went through 3 different sets of O rings until he found some that would seal. Is there a better way? I thought about taking a hand vice and holding the crossover together while I pull both rails up. Also, should I coat the O rings with something?

I applied some Mobil 1 oil before I install it. It went in and seal fine.

A little bit of vasoline on the bungs and oil on the o-rings is all I've ever used, never had a problem.
